No, it's unused so far.

Yes.  Forwarding from A to B.  Now works, but see below.

They must have changed their mind(s).

Yes.

Yes, but there's no need yet.

Correct.

Account A is still blocked from TB, but I can forward to Account B and 
download it from B.  BUT...

Stuff works now, except that when I start TB in the morning (I shut down 
my computer at night) no unloading happens automatically, although it 
should -- TB settings are download on startup and every 3 minutes 
thereafter for all accounts including Eternal September.  Nothing, even 
after repeated GET MESSAGES clicks.

So I go to the website, tap a different POP setting, tap it back again, 
hit SAVE and mail starts to download.  This has happened yesterday and 
today.  The website ALWAYS says POP is enabled before I do anything. 
Does the website feel unloved?

Moreover, TB seems to switch the setting on the accounts from UNREAD to 
ALL whenever it feels like it.

I ran a bootable system backup last night and am going to try some 
catastrophic changes in it tomorrow, maybe.
